The Trump administration wants to revamp and rename a U.S. government program designed to counter all violent ideologies so that it focuses solely on Islamist extremism, five people briefed on the matter told Reuters.

The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.

Lock if old

 

[rjinaz]

I feel less safe already.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

I recall reading that those groups didn't actually have any manpower inside the fbi anyway, so not as bad as it seems unless these groups get much worse, which is unfortunately a possibility.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

This means he is okay with supremascists killing minorities.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

We're gonna get another Oklahoma bombing, aren't we?

 

[Xando]

Bannon making sure he doesn't get investigated

 

[Pastry]

Well of course we don't care about white terrorists(unless they're Muslim)

 

[soundscream]

Happy Black history month!

 

[Gurgelhals]

This is seriously fucked up, but at this point nothing surprises me anymore.

Bannondorf gonna Bannondorf I guess.

 

[sphagnum]

Of course he won't investigate white nationalism.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Can't have key Trump voting bases in danger of investigation

 

[UberTag]

They don't practice Islam in Saudi Arabia? Could have fooled me.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Is this nightmare never going to end? :/

 

[Slime]

One of your people, an alt-right white supremacist troll, just killed 6 Muslims in their house of prayer in my country. Fuck you. You're the fucking terrorist leader, Donald Trump.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Well of course we don't care about white terrorists(unless they're Muslim)

No, he won't care about those either.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Fuck you, Trump.

 

[Xando]

Well of course we don't care about white terrorists(unless they're Muslim)

If they are white they are mentally ill lone wolfs.
We don't use the t word for white people.

 

[Shoeless]

Of course he won't investigate white nationalism.

That's pretty much perfect then. In order to organize a terrorist group, you simply call it a white national interest group, and it will always be treated as a lone individual, who just needs mental help. No phone taps, no investigation, just label it one sad, rogue attack and call it a day.

In an indirect way, this is probably paving the way for more school shootings.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

Well of course we don't care about white terrorists(unless they're Muslim)

considering they were trying to say that the incident in Canada was done by a Muslim and not a white person, yeah they don't give a shit

 

[Setsuna]

But like why? Why does it need to focus on Islam. I dont get it

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is this nightmare never going to end? :/

Either he has a heart attack, or gets impeached. The way Republicans are going they're aren't doing that. We can only hope on his bad health at this point. He looks like shit.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

There are fucking nazis in america

 

[jellies_two]

They are redefining bribes as well, moving to end rules against corporate bribery.

Bribes are those we don't make.
Terrorism is what we say it is.
Extremism is what defines islam.
Press is Skype calls from sock puppets.
Human Rights are the rights of our supporters.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Is this nightmare never going to end? :/

Nah, not within our generation, I've come to terms with that.

 

[Joeku]

But like why? Why does it need to focus on Islam. I dont get it

Give the good Christian people an enemy. Maybe make the local Muslims wear a pin or a sticker on their coat. You can never be too safe!

Spoiler

Fuck this.

 

[PKrockin]

ISIS recruiters really could not ask for a better president. He will do anything to please his racist supporters.

 

[mreddie]

But like why? Why does it need to focus on Islam. I dont get it

You know why.


Racism.

 

[theWB27]

I do wonder how many places he's going to invade and try n take over.

 

[Lowmelody]

Then I guess what we need is an army of women willing sacrifice for the country by putting out in order to relieve our frustrated and extremist white men.

 

[Dan]

Trump will shift people over from investigating civil rights violations to working on this program.

Nah mental illness bruh!

[Pai Pai Master]

What the FUCK man. This is so fucked up.

 

[nintendoman58]

Nah, not within our generation, I've come to terms with that.

Nah, I think it will. Honestly with everything these guys do I'm seeing more people come out in support of minorities during these trying times.

Don't think all love in the world, or even the US for that matter is gone.

 

[djplaeskool]

Go ahead and add the Southern Poverty Law Center to your donation rotation.

 

[i-Lo]

What about that right wing extremism though?

 

[Shaanyboi]

The program, "Countering Violent Extremism," or CVE, would be changed to "Countering Islamic Extremism" or "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.

"It's not terrorism, they're just lone-wolf cases, okay?"

 

[Lowmelody]

Go ahead and add the Southern Poverty Law Center to your donation rotation.

It's only a matter of time until it gets added to the list of terrorist organizations. =\

 

[Kai Dracon]

Bannon ensuring his white nationalist compatriots can spread their wings and grow, continue to arm themselves, and prepare to the glorious war to to come without being investigated.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

Bannon needs to get fucking punched.

 

[mo60]

So does trump care about the white extremist that have been involved in multiple domestic attacks in multiple countries in the last decade or two. If trump wants to focus counter extremism programs solely on Islam he should also look at the white extremism problem.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

We've got quite a ways to go before the Middle East can be gentrified.

What could possibly go wrong?

Way to go, Trump. smfh

Oh he cares.

Like a parent cares for their child.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

"The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must"

That's how I interpret Trump's worldview, anyway.

 

[Shadybiz]

If this is true, the target on our heads is just growing bigger every day.

 

[adj_noun]

Sigh.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Of course he won't investigate white nationalism.

cant investigate himself

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'd rather we go to a war against Trump.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

The part about not targeting groups such as white supremacists is insane if true. WTF man.

 

[Knoxcore]

At what point does he create the American version of the einsatzgruppen?
